Located in Denver's Highland neighborhood, Lechuga's has been the Mile High City's go-to for delicious Italian food since 1961.

(As per their website, "What originally began as a bakery evolved into an Italian restaurant known statewide for our original sausage canolis, square pizzas, and delicious lunch specials. While a lot has changed since those early days, we’ve kept the same recipes since the very beginning, and our dedication to hot, fresh eats and bold, memorable flavors hasn’t changed a bit.")

In addition to their original North Denver location, Lechuga's Italian Restaurant has expanded to two other spots around town, including a Lakewood storefront (7475 W. Colfax Ave.) and Kiosk along the 16th Street Mall!

The original Lechuga's Italian Restaurant is located at 3609 Tejon St. in Denver and is open Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 9 pm and on Sundays from 11 am to 6 pm. More information on their dine-in and carry-out menus can be found on their website.
